Transferred from Goztepe in the winter break of last season, 24-year-old midfielder Junior Olaitan has drawn attention with his performances since joining. The Beninese player has become one of his team's most important names thanks to his energy and goal contributions, providing assists in league matches against Eyupspor and Corum.

Olaitan has also been in form in Europe, finding the net against Crystal Palace. He scored once each against Midtjylland, Hradec Kralove and Hoffenheim, and provided two goal assists in the Marseille match. This strong run shows he has been effective in European competition as well.

Olaitan showed his quality again against Basaksehir. After a shot hit the post in the second half, he settled the score in the 89th minute with a superb strike. That goal marked an important milestone in his career.

In the 2022-23 season, he recorded 8 goal contributions for Niort in France. This season he has already reached 9, surpassing his career record. How his performance continues over the rest of the season is eagerly awaited.
